Karen’s got a recipe that will get you smashed, which, based on both her profession and her family’s profession is probably the most fitting recipe for her to have. So let’s check out how to get our hands on it.

You’ll need to have built a green house, so if you don’t have one, save up for one, build one and then come back to this post when it’s been built.

You need a strawberry. They take 6 days to grow so hurry up and buy those seeds!

This must be the first gift/item you give to Karen during that day.

You must have spoken to Karen at least once since starting your game.

After you’ve grown a strawberry it’s time to hunt down the elusive Karen. On Mondays and Thursdays you’ll find her on the vineyard from 9am-5pm, Sundays you’ll find her on the beach from 8am-5pm, and on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays you can find her from 8am-5pm either by the carpenter’s house, the beach, or potentially nowhere at all! That’s right! There is a 36% chance on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday that she is not available in the game world from 8am-5pm. Karen is also in the bar at night from 6pm-12am on Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. This schedule changes drastically after she becomes married. Check out the guide for more detail on that.

When you finally track down Karen hand off that hard-earned strawberry to her and she’ll give you her strawberry champagne recipe!
